I'll see to that.
Julie!
What are you doing?
How many times have I told you, stay out of my things!
And don't cry!
I'm not crying, Mum.
Come here.
You.
And you.
The girl.
Don't touch me.
I don't understand, the deliverer called but you weren't in.
What you mean? You're joking. I haven't moved all morning.
Send us another delivery.
Sorry, we can't send another formula.
What do you mean?
Then reimburse me. Or offer compensation.
We've already credited your account. Sorry, but...
It's a scandal!
This is the last time.
You're pathetic. Bitch!
Thank you, ma'am. Goodbye, have a nice day.
Emma? Switch your phone to Steph's.
I need a word.
What, now?
Are you going to lunch?
We talked with the rest of the team
and since our conversation last week, things haven't improved.
We've a real integration problem.
Ludo and I dreamed up a company built around a team.
But I hit my targets, plenty of others don't.
True. But it is not the only criterion and we've had complaints.
I'm not the only one!
Last week, Vincent shouted at a customer, called him a twat.
Nothing was said. Is that 'cause he's mates with Ludo?
See, Emma, that kind of behaviour makes you unpopular.
- But I'm not... - I can't spend hours on this.
Just grin and bear it and leave with dignity.
Is that possible?
We explore all holes filled in recently
up to 1km from the mass grave.
A killer may have used the consolidation work
to hide bodies.
So make a hole and poke your camera through.
If you find anything, note the location and I'll come.
Call you later.
Is that her?
Wait till she goes inside to question her.
Anyway, how are you?
Start wondering how you are, you can always find
reasons to feel bad. Will that do for an answer?
OK.
- And Julie's father? - Stepfather.
He's not very well.
They loved each other.
Anyway...
Where's that from?
My arse. Shall we go?
Don't mess around! I'm on duty!
Hello.
Are you Coralie Jarfat?
Yes.
- Oh shit. - We have some questions.
Are you cops? You don't look like cops.
Not the first team, anyway.
Perhaps the substitutes' bench in a police lower league.
With old players like you and little redheads.
She called you a redhead.
- Yes. - She doesn't take us seriously.
- Can I have a word? - Yes.
Catherine!
What are you doing here? You really think...
What are you doing?
How long have you been following her?
Three months.
Who asked you to? And why?
Catherine, open this door!
Right, then.
What do we have here?
What's this?
Open this door!
What are you doing?
Let's start again.
Who asked you to follow her and why?
Stop fucking about!
Move!
I don't know the guy!
I do occasional odd jobs for him. He pays cash.
He didn't say why he wanted her followed.
Last question. And I warn you, next time I'll tattoo your eyelid.
So listen! Where can I find him and what does he look like?
He small, squat, fortyish, I don't know!
He wears a square signet ring and often goes to Le 13.
Where is Le 13?
Here. Have you seen the grave?
I'd rather have missed it.
Go to the right...
Nothing there. Try the left.
Check up above.
Nothing there.
"Explore every cavity." Huh!
Pierce there.
- Here? - Yes, that should do it.
Wait. Listen.
Don't worry, it's nothing. Just distension.
- You think? - Yes.
Look out!
- Are you OK? - Yes.
OK?
Still sulking?
He's still sulking!
Are you enrolled?
No.
Is that your colt?
Colt? Isn't that a young horse?
- You'll be number seven. - Pardon?
- Seven? - Good luck.
Here.
What's this?
You see?
She said he'd be here.
And now, nine against seven.
Number seven! Number seven!
If we go now, they'll never let us come back.
- I'm not fighting. - Then take a dive!
What did you say?
Come on.
- What is this shit? - Talk later.
Search him.
Shut your mouth.
Capt Richard Chiappini, Drug Squad.
What is this shit?
Let's get out of here.
A cop! We can't torture fucking cops!
- Why not? - I don't think you get it:
Julie was followed by cops, see? Our people. He won't be alone.
For now he doesn't know who we are.
Come on!
There.
Four years ago in 1994,
he spent a few months in Crime before joining Drug Squad.
At the same time as Julie.
Fuck! My appointment with internal branch was half an hour ago!
You're late! Drop me at the Drug Squad first.
First, it's not on the way.
Second, do nothing with Chiappini without me. OK?
Do you agree or not?
- OK, get out. - What?
Come in.
- Lieutenant Berger? - Yes.
I'm really sorry I'm late.
Oh, this is recent.
Very recent.
- Sit on the couch. - Thank you.
Three things a mother should always carry...
One...
two and three.
I won't ask what happened.
No.
Go on, clean up a bit.
Thank you.
It stings at first, but it passes.
I looked into you,
and - excuse my police humour -
everyone says you're as meek as a lamb.
Could everyone be wrong?
I... I don't know.
How long have you worked with Julie Susini?
Around two years.
She's your partner. You work together on every case, right?
Would you say she's more than a partner to you?
- Meaning? - I don't know, a friend?
When you spend more time with your partner than with your wife,
it must forge bonds.
Of friendship, that's all.
What might your friend feel guilty about?
What might she feel guilty about? Well?
Nothing.
In 20 years I've had over 10 partners,
12 to be exact.
I never learnt as much as with Julie Susini.
She never took any case lightly.
Never.
She is obstinate... That's not the word.
Not obstinate...
Persistent.
Persistent, that's it. Thank you.
She never gives up, it's amazing.
And she doesn't care about money.
I don't know what you want with her, but she's the most honest cop I know.
So she's perfect!
You won't help us solve the Susini mystery.
Right.
We'll be seeing more of each other.
- The investigation has just started. - Thank you.
- Safe home. - Thank you.
By the way...
switch on your phone, your boss is after you.
Oh fuck. Damn it.
Take your hands off me!
That's OK.
- Where were you? - Investigating the mass grave.
A lead on homeless people. It came to nothing.
What happened?
- I ran into bad company. - Bad company is what we do.
But cops don't fight, they use their warrant card and gun!
There was a bunch of them, they took me by surprise.
Raphaël, what are you doing?
- What about you? - Sorry?
What are you doing?
This Julie in Spain business is bullshit.
Who's looking for her? Not you, at any rate!
OK.
I'll overlook the way you talk to me
because you're obviously not yourself.
This morning, when you were busy doing I don't know what,
"your" team found another mass grave.
They called several times, you claimed you were in a meeting!
Explain!
Five new bodies. Much fresher.
- How fresh? - A few weeks for some,
a few days for others. But not Julie.
These were homeless people.
I want to see them.
- I want to see them. - You do? But you're off the case.
- Pardon? - The prefect and I decided
to give the case to Crime Squad. We want to avoid panic.
Given your physical and mental state,
I think we made the right decision.
- I'm off the case? - Of course you are!
You disappear without warning!
You get beaten up!
You arrive late to an IGPN summons!
Where do you think you are?
And now you're off the case, you're available.
So from now on, you come back when I say!
You again? Who are you?
Tie your left hand to the wheel.
I don't think so.
Tell me what you know about Julie.
I don't know any Julie.
Ow! Fuck!
We're at Crime Squad. You can't do a thing.
You're right.
Drive.
You're wasting your time.
We'll soon know.
What are you doing? Stop fucking about!
Untie me. You don't know what they'd do!
Oh, I know, believe me. Julie.
I don't know who you mean!
OK. The weather forecast today is for hail.
What?
We have to go, now!
I'm in no hurry.
Answer my question. You worked with her at Crime Squad.
Well? Julie?
We had to get rid of her, she wanted to talk.
- Talk about what? - Thomas Bousso! Fucking untie me!
- Is Julie dead? - I think so!
What do you mean, "think"? Where could she be?
All I know is when we have a body, we leave it in a box with €2000 cash.
Where is it? Is there a number? A code?
- A key? Answer me! - Bobigny box 33!
We put the body in the freezer and the guy comes for it.
I don't know how, but...
Now untie me! Shit!!
Key? Code?
18-70! 18-70!
Now untie me!
Raph?
What happened to you?
- What have you done? - I was in a fight.
It's nothing, I can't feel it.
You fought? But why?
Look at me...
It's complicated.
I'm trying to find Julie.
But that's not your job, not your business!
I can't just let them mess up.
They're being inept.
Did you tell Garraud?
He suspended me for a few days.
What are you doing? What's happened to you?
You have to trust them.
You're too close.
Look, Elsa...
I really can't handle your concern at the moment.
We'll take a break for a few days, OK?
No, it's not OK!
You choose to do this now, disregarding my opinion?
Yes.
Please.
I knew about Julie!
Yes, I knew.
I made it my business to get you back.
I'm sorry.
Hi. Are you there?
Is your name really Emma?
- Yes. - Cool.
- Shall we meet up for a chat? - OK.
Tonight?
Right now I'm living with my parents till I find a job.
You can say no, I'll understand.
OK!
You won't regret it.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Clément. - Emma.
- OK? - Yes.
What's in there?
A chameleon.
You want a drink?
No.
That wasn't bad for an introduction.
But it felt like you didn't give everything.
Are you kidding?
No.
You have to go for it, this doesn't happen every day.
What do you mean?
A guy like me going for you.
I mean, objectively, girls like you
don't shag guys like me.
You dream about it, but...
You don't shag anything much, basically.
I go for that kind of girl now.
I've had my fill of bohos and bimbos.
I'll let you into a secret: they suck in bed.
Whereas girls like you are more hungry.
So from now on, let me do anything.
I'm not a pervert
but I suppose that depends what you see as perverted.
And in return you get me, which is pretty good.
We can do a selfie together if you like.
You can put it on Facebook. I'm not on social networks.
I think it's important to have memories in life.
Don't you agree?
I don't know.
Meet: 10am, day after tomorrow Place: TBA Yes/No?
4 days after disappearance
Brighter weather and warmer temperatures expected today,
from 15°C this morning to 23°C this afternoon.
No chance of rain in the Paris area...
...No, the body is still at Voltaire Tower.
Drugs Squad you say?
Yes, working on joint BRI cases. His name's Captain Richard Chiappini.
Oh the silly fucking cow!
- Any witnesses? - Some saw a woman, short hair,
dark trousers, leaving the vehicle.
But I don't know how we'll get any statements.
You have reached Catherine Susini. Please leave a message.
They've killed her.
She's dead.
We don't know that.
He said "I think".
Yes.
Maybe that was to save his skin.
What does your instinct tell you?
Your maternal instinct.
My maternal instinct?
I have no idea!
You'd know, definitely.
You'd know.
I don't believe it.
Neither do you.
Julie is alive, OK?
Julie is alive!
So don't give up on her, not now.
Right.
Some cops wanted to get rid of Julie because she wanted to talk about?
- Thomas Bousso. - That's it.
So...
The other lead is Box 33 in Bobigny.
Right?
I'll look into Thomas Bousso internally.
- I'll see to the box. - Hang on...
I want to see if she's inside.
He said they put in a body and someone comes for it?
But how does that someone know?
There must be an alarm.
I've no idea, I don't care.
We have to find that someone and make him talk.
OK.
But do nothing without telling me.
Is that clear?
Yes, it's clear!
OK.
When checking Raphaël Berger's calls,
one number crops up often since his partner's disappearance.
More than 20 calls in three days.
Hers:
Catherine Susini, mother of Julie Susini.
She's ex-police.
Crime, Minors, CID... She's done everything.
"Case resolution above average but recurring discipline problems.
"Early retirement, P5"...?
Depression or burnout.
Took a sabbatical then came back.
Ten promotion applications, all rejected
- for "lack of team spirit..." - "...psychology and empathy", etc.
My favourite is: "Everyone hates her."
An objective criterion.
Catherine Susini, Raphaël Berger...
I think they set off on a crusade.
- Yes? - Thomas Bousso, 21, from Créteil, 94.
No criminal record.
Vanished 5 years ago. From where she is, his worried mother
called the police.
- From where she is? - Jailed in 2002
for armed robbery and manslaughter.
The father died of an overdose
- when the kid was 5. - And Chiappini and Julie?
They were both on Crime when the kid vanished.
The mother has agreed to talk to me.
I'll call you afterwards.
Hello.
Well?
Thomas was 12 when I was arrested.
He was put in a home till he was 18.
He never complained,
never gave up like others would have done.
He came to see me every week.
Every week.
And then...
the second weekend of September 2013,
he didn't come.
He didn't call either.
Obviously I got worried.
I tried to reach his mobile.
Nothing.
The next week he didn't come either.
I knew something had happened to him.
He wouldn't have left without telling me.
He was a good son.
The best of sons.
When he passed his bac, I was so proud.
I understand.
I think...
that my son is dead.
I'm sure of it.
I can feel it. Or rather, I don't feel it anymore.
Mrs Bousso,
do the names Susini or Chiappini ring any bells?
They're cops.
Thomas never had trouble with the cops.
Do you know who might help me find out more?
Someone he hung around with?
His best friend was Elodie.
I heard she left town after Thomas vanished.
That's when Elodie changed career.
Do you know Melinda Black?
I have heard of her.
Everyone has. But no one has seen her.
Right.
She gets a lot of people here worked up.
The women too.
Elodie is Melinda Black.
Hello and welcome.
I want to rent a box.
You've come to the right place.
Shall I explain how it works or do you know?
- How many levels do you have? - Three.
I want one on level -3, please.
I'll see what we have left.
We have units ranging from 5m² to 40m².
Five.
There's one left.
Box number 37, level -3, 5m². How's that?
- Perfect. - OK.
Come with me.
Everything here is secure.
A watchman passes regularly,
day and night. It's secure.
We also offer cardboard boxes,
crates, packing cases if needed.
Box number 37.
A customer left it. I'll take it.
- No, you can leave it. - Are you sure?
Yes, thank you. Would you leave me?
Yes. If you need...
Yes?
Well?
What do you want? What we do is legal.
- I know. - So?
I've come to see Melinda Black.
She's busy. Come in, I'll see what I can do.
Melinda.
Miss Black...
What can I do for you?
I've some questions.
Rather delicate ones.
I came here to talk about Thomas Bousso.
End of discussion... Luc?
Wait. It's important! Don't touch me.
Thomas went missing on 10 September 2013.
I know. Goodbye.
You didn't ask if we'd found him.
- Did you find him? - You know we didn't.
- What's this about? - You were Thomas's best friend.
His mother said.
He disappeared and you moved away just afterwards.
It doesn't take a genius to make the link.
His mother thinks he's dead.
What do you think?
Why are you here?
I have reason to think that what happened to Thomas
happened to my colleague,
my partner.
She's disappeared.
I need your help to find her, please.
Could you wait outside, love? I'll call if I need you.
I think...
I think Thomas had problems with the law.
Thomas was the nicest guy in the world.
He was my friend.
He didn't judge me, or anyone, in fact.
Dude! How's it going?
You OK?
- It's been ages. - The homecoming kid!
I'm going to go see Ismaël. You coming?
I don't know. I have to revise...
Come on, stop messing about! Come on!
Get in, son!
- Yes, but I have exams. - Come on, let's go.
Easy. Feeling good?
He had no problems with the cops.
I didn't say the cops, I said cops.
I think Thomas had problems with cops.
But I don't know what.
If you know anything, please tell me.
I want to know the truth.
Thomas didn't have problems with the cops.
Ismaël did.
Ismaël?
He was my guy.
You liked it?
Bye.
- OK, baby? - On your break?
Yes. Another 2 or 3 sessions and I'll join you.
OK, honey.
Want to go out tonight?
You bet! I want to dance.
Wait a second. Sarko, shut up!
Be right back.
The cops weren't bent.
Ismaël drove them mad.
Each time they arrested him, he was released straight away.
No evidence. He was too clever for them.
That day he got out of custody and openly mocked them.
They were livid.
Guess who I'm talking to.
- Who? - You'll see!
- Who is it? - She's there.
Elodie!
- Thomas! - How are you?
Nice to see you!
What are you up to? I've not seen you.
Right now I have too much to do.
I have exams at the moment.
What's that noise?
- Police! - Thomas?
Open up!
They shot them like dogs.
Then she went over to him to check he was dead.
She?
Yes, a woman cop.
I'd seen her before.
Young, fairly pretty.
Her?
Children are a big con trick.
They fuck up your marriage.
You become their slave for 20 years.
And when you tell them off they say they didn't ask to be born.
And they're not wrong.
Because once they're here, you have to man up.
So you see...
whether Julie did what you say or not changes nothing.
She's my daughter, I'm her mother.
- Anything else? - A jug of water.
- Do you have children? - No.
By choice?
At first, yes.
Then after, no.
- Here. - Thanks.
Elsa and I have been trying for 2 years.
If this poses a moral dilemma,
I won't blame you for stepping out.
I'm staying.
OK.
But there's no going back now.
We'll soon be spotted, we have to fade into the scenery.
OK?
Right... One, two,
three...!
